Semantle 6

[ElegantlyTouched]

A place to combine the madness. Have yet to start today's. Eeek!

Yes Roxie 😤

I had to resort to googling a synonym for 998 but I got there in the end!

I solved Semantle #60 in 257 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -5.50. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #103. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 55.64 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org/

@JaneJeffer
I start off with my wordle answer then first ten will be cover parts of speech (is that the term for verbs, nouns, adverbs?) then big picture words that relate to nature, occupations, built environment, metaphysics.
Eg
Stove
Building
Mountain
Architect
Faith

I average about 90 guesses with 2 300+ and 2 under 20.

Google helped from 995

This is v similar to my approach. No set words but broad themes. A few words that I like to try each time (float has been useful a few times) and then random shit in my immediate vicinity.

Is 963 on the right track? Also have 917, 865, 660 and low greens

@Aroundtheworldin80moves how is the state of 960 maintained?

That has lead me to 919 which I don't think will help...

I'm severely rubbish at this.

Think bigger

Fifth guess was one of my normal starting words. Bored by my day now.

Bit annoyed it took as long as this, considering my old job…!

@Spudlet yes, it took me too long as well. I literally forgot it was a thing! This is why I shouldn't Semantle before breakfast (or in this case before 5am).

One of my quickest!

A couple of low greens took me on a wild goose chase for about 35 guesses. Low greens are the devil.

@Lotsofpots I was led astray by 959, it took a further 150 guesses to get it after that!
